Hi guys,
Just installed my performance stripe, rear spoiler (adhesive still setting) and i got my wheels back...
had them redone in black chrome. What do you guys think?

Looks nice! Did you do the spoiler install yourself? how did it go? To be honest I don't dig the chrome on white look.

Looks good mate. Did you do the stripes yourself? I did mine the other week, I got a few airbubbles!

GK 1 · 09-03-2010, 06:06 PM

Thanx. Yes I did the install myself. Spoiler and stripe,
It took me about 1hour for stripe and 30mins for the
Spoiler.

What I did was sprayed soapy water on first then adjusted stripe until I was happy
With it,then used flat rubber applicator to remove air bubbles and water.

Another tip for doing a Clear Bra or Stripe install... is like GK_1 said to use some soapy water (see my clear bra DIY for the propper dilution to soap/water). My installer also used a small CC-like squegy with the busines end wrapped in a soft cotton cloth - held by a rubber band. The cloth was wet - so to glide over of the clear bra or in your case pin stripes. That way the material will not get scratched.

The small stock spoiler has to be removed.
